ComradeSokolnikovPeople’s Commissariat for Finance

Consideringthat the press, both Soviet and Party, had
earlier, namely, in connection with the
Glavzemkhoz[1]exhibition from September 18 to 25, 1921, unanimously
assessed ComradeRunov’swork as being exceptionally
successful in founding proletarian agriculture, and
considering that this assessment had been confirmed by a decision
of the Council of Labour and Defence of 30/IX–1921,
I think that Runov’s enclosed application should be
unconditionally and fully
satisfied.[2]

Iask Comrade Sokolnikov to reply to me without delay,
in substance, through Comrade
Gorbunov.[3]
